Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure generally relates to tool storage devices and, in particular, to devices and methods for storing grooming tools.
- 2. Background Information
- Grooming tools, including hair clippers, find frequent use in multiple applications, including barber shops, beauty salons, pet grooming and other facilities where hair is cut and styled. The hair stylist typically works from a desk, or “station,” maintained in a location and at an elevation to provide easy access to commonly used grooming tools.
- Tools, including electric hair clippers, are often placed in a station drawer within reach of the hair stylist. During use, hair, oil, grease and other contaminants can adhere to the cutting head, including the stationary blade and the cutting blade. Since proper operation of the clipper requires a smooth, scissor-type cutting action between the stationary and cutting blades, any buildup on either blade or on the cutting head can interfere with the performance of the clipper. Clipper blades also require regular lubrication, often using a light oil, to provide free motion of the cutting blade across the stationary blade. Treatment of the clipper head with a disinfectant may be required by local custom, practice or health regulations, while treatment of the clipper head with perfume may be pleasing to consumers.
- The following presents a general summary of several aspects of the disclosure in order to provide a basic understanding of at least some aspects of the disclosure. This summary is not an extensive overview of the disclosure. It is not intended to identify key or critical elements of the disclosure or to delineate the scope of the claims. The following summary merely presents some concepts of the disclosure in a general form as a prelude to the more detailed description that follows.
- Disclosed is a grooming tool caddy. The caddy can include a caddy housing having a receiver adapted for receiving a clipper head. A clipper head protective member can be disposed within the receiver to protect the clipper head from damage. A fluid reservoir can be disposed within the caddy, remote from the receiver.
- An exemplary method for storing and organizing grooming tools includes inserting a clipper headfirst into a caddy housing having a receiver that receives the clipper head. Protecting the clipper head using a clipper head protective member inserted within the receiver. Using a fluid from a fluid reservoir disposed remote from the receiver for periodic maintenance of the clipper.
